Designed by Jody Eklund, the TOP ACES of WWII playing cards is a custom deck intricately illustrated as a dedication to the many daredevils of WWII. The deck was funded in 2 days on Kickstarter and is a follow-up to the last year’s successful Top Aces of WWI where Jody paid homage to the many daredevils of WWI.
On the inspiration of the deck, Jody told Kardify,
Ever since my grandfather first made a drawing of his crop-duster plane and I was in the military, I have loved two things, The History of Aviation and using illustration to help communicate a really cool story. Top Aces of World War II combines those two things and allows me to pay homage to some really brave people and use illustration to bring those stories to life.
Top Aces of WWII is all about the heroes that flew in WWII. Jody chose all of the Top Aces from each country that were represented in World War II. Fully custom, each court, ace, and joker will have original illustrations.
The deck is packaged in a linen- textured tuck box featuring embossing and elegant hot foil. Printed by United States Playing Card Co. on Air Cushion Embossed Card Finish with Premium Casino Grade Paper Stock. Pledge starts at $14 on Kickstarter.
Also available exclusively during the campaign is the Limited Edition TOP ACES of WWI. This deck will be printed by the Legends Playing Card Co. on their popular classic finish.
